TQ all whom it may (foncer-n: Be it known that. l, Cuna Osmaf resuling at Denver, in the county ot Denn-r and 'Stateof Colorado, have invented@` non' and Improved Cooking,r4 Utensi of which the followingr is a specification.

This 'invention relates to improvements in that class `ofA kcttlcs or co-fikingui'ensils generally used for preservingy and tor cook ing cereals, and ithas for its obtxrt to provide an improved utensil of thev type stated of a simple and economical nature, in which of the kettle, the fruit. is very apt-"to ca lie on the bottom and sides of the boiler. To

eookiniand to produce a utensil that can 1be ma tIeS', I have provided animproved construe 'tion olf kettle in ,which the bottom is espreially 'designed for reniorablyreceiving"4 a supplementalbot-tom ordeflcfftor made of 'asbestos or Vother non-combustible n'i'aterial`v and Which-can bennicklly removed whcirit isdesired toiuse lthe kettle. for a. quick boilin Wit other objects in View that will he hereinafter referred'to, my invention colisi'sts in a-kettle that embodies the peculiar vfeatures of construction and cooperative arrangement of parts, all of which will be hereinafter explained, specifically` pointed out in the appended claimsand illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in wli'iehz-f Fi ure 1 is a persv Aective view of my keitv` tie, t e same being s A'ori/n as in ilse. Fig. 2 -is. a. vertical cross section thereof, the sup-v plemental bottoinfbeing in place, and liig, 3 is an inverted perspective View of the ket-- tle, the supplemental bottom being removed and separately shown.v

In the practical embodiment of my i-nvention, 1 designates anordinary shaped -way 4.

ln my construction the haatte bottoni has a dcep pondent flange i?, that-is niet.. ont. lo

nal handle or form a. horizontal slotn'ay l 'which extends approxinitacly one-halt' of thclcireninerence of the. flange. and thefsaid flange on -the remaining part themothas an inwardly projected rib i, the ends of which termi` nate at or ncar the nincrredge of' the slotl designates a supplemental or crij. bott'o'ni which preferably is the commercial ifi-'pc otasl'icstos store plate, the size there v-of bein;r such that it can be readily slipped .edgewise through the .siete/a);y 4 and be l caused lo rest and be supported iipo'n the segmental flange 5, and 1n practice the said' hott-oni 6, is of such thicknessthat when' slipped into position under 'the kettle there remains-a space 7 of at leastlone eighth of an inch, .lo provide for a free circulation or airljietn'ccn the kettle bottom proper 9 Tand the asbestos 'bottom (7 such arrangement being provided so thatthe 'asbestos bottom can never get. too hot and at thesame time proven: the kettle.. bottom proper from get- 'ling so luav that it will burn the substance being cooked in the kettle. To' positively holdthe' top of the asbestos bottom awa-y from thc kettle bottom, 'the slot'wty 5 is so cut that its upper edge is in a plane belmv the. kctile bottom as shown. f- By arranging the kettle bottom inthe manner Cesired, the kettle can-be. used in tbeordinary way when so desired, since the extra lii'ntoxn (S can be almost instantly remow .for replaced.A it beingr apparent that. n-hen applied, tbel'mttmn (i is so held that it will not readily tall out 'ot position during the ordinary handling of the utensil.

`From the 'foregoingtalcn inconnection with thedrawi'ngtbc advantages and the complete arrangement of my invention 'will' be' readily apparent. The same is exceed pose for which devices of the kind to which my invention belongs are. usually employed. f lla ving thus described my invention, what I claim is :-4
